I need to understand why it is always the least well off that are targeted to bail out the UK. We have billionaires dodging taxes, MPs claiming outrageous expenses and covid fraud that reads like a triple Power Ball rollover. Why not target these disgraces.

On this Halloween day here’s a video from Scottish farmer (fermer) @standupfarmer. In case any non-Scots speakers are struggling to understand it, I’ve added subtitles which will probably definitely help.

This is not a scene from some macabre horror film, it’s a real photo of Halloween guisers (trick or treaters) from South Uist in the Scottish Hebrides in 1932. Absolutely terrifying.

Jenrick on TV this morning saying the country can’t afford to carry disabled people because it’s broke and welfare will bankrupt us. This was exactly the Nazi narrative of the 1930s

🇺🇸 Trump at 6:00 PM — "Unlike Obama, we had a 'historic victory' in Iran." 🇺🇸 Obama at 7:00 PM — "Yeah, absolute historic. You have been unable to open the Strait of Hormuz for the past 195 days, 18 hours, and 33 minutes." 😂 🔥 Absolute cinema by Obama🔥

Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”

An actual leader. Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.”
